v13.0 seems to work fine for me - no connection issues, etc. - though I was hoping for better with the graphics setting... ;-) It'll get there.

@Pexx, you can be such a ... potato ... sometimes. And your riddle is pretty loosy-goosy on the connections. Kind of... BRAINless...


Has anyone other than myself had success using 'NPC' on a Mac? I'd like confirmation that the supplied procedure (found in 'NPC_overview.pdf') is working for others.

I would REALLY like to know how to get in on the 'closed external testing' of the Mac client... ;-)


The Tower capture mechanics seem heavily weighted towards the capturing companies. 1000 pts / (30 pts/5 seconds) is 167 seconds IF you have 30 folks in the control zone the whole time, and with a single character it is 5000 seconds (83 minutes 20 seconds) - but the # of points does not get reduced unless there are ZERO characters from that company in the control zone...


Kobld Cleaver, still have one for a useful Gnome?

Will I do instead? ;-)


Wow - that's disappointing - looks like a matter of 30 minutes to have responded to those IMs... Well, thanks for helping folks out Wexel.


Oooo - a new thread to haunt! Please consider me if you have an Alpha invite you are going to give away!


Thanks Charlie

Er, all Storm Troopers ARE Boba Fett...


Wait - does that mean that triplets are not also 3 sets of twins?


"Their number of factors is odd" - and if you phrase that as the number of whole divisors including 1 and the number itself then it automatically includes 1 as an open door without it having to be considered as an exception... ;-)

Also, you need to be more specific than just "two of the same factors" since you could have, for example, 2 x 2 x 3 (two of the same factors...) or 3 x 3 x 4 - so it would have to be something like"has only factors that occur twice" or maybe "have two of each of its factors"

That makes it a little easier to see that the door is opened and closed the same number of times too.

It's a good puzzle!

Adventure Time with Bonny, the only thing worth watching tonight. Especially since there is a raffle and we can get cool stuff by watching. Don't know if I want the bag or the Alpha access or both!

Aw dang it! Apparently you have to belucky enough to either know this washappening, or to have read a post about it soon enough - 'cause it appears to be over now...

Poor fools are they that allow the prevalence of dishonesty to rob them of the joy of seeing the honest among us and being able to share trust with them.

I must refer back to the phrase "High-powered politicians..." :-)

Mind you, no one is saying that they are bad people!


No no no, Pexx! Oh you poor, poor fool - you have been duped by the politicians!

here is a party of 100 high-powered politicians. All of them are either honest or liars. You walk in knowing two things:

- At least one of them is honest.
- If you take any two politicians, at least one of them is a liar.

From this information, can you know how many are liars and how many are honest?

Well, if I know that at least one is honest, then I must be lying to myself... ;-)

Either way, it's a trick question, and I think Pexx must have some Gnome blood in him.

It is a trick question: the fact that there are 100 "high-powered" politicians explicitly determines that there are 100 liars. The one that is honest is clearly lying to us about it.


Ooo! I call dibs on one of the recliners!

There's a living room under all this stuff? Heh, that must mean we have a couch, too!

Oh sure, it works NOW... Originally I was using HTML code for the chevrons (&lt; and &gt;) because the forum settings page hides the whole thing otherwise.

Huzzah! Now I really DO have chevrons in my alias name!


Isn't that one of Robert Aspirin's books?

And now, to test my new forum aias... NO, it doesn't work! Time to change it in my account settings. Huzzah!
